  1. Today I learned that there is a “too late”, depending on the Program. I’m applying to USC and Utah State (I’m applying to 8 altogether). One of my professors tried to submit his letters late last night to all of my schools. He attempted to submit his letter to USC’s Clinical Science Program and apparently it notified him that their leeway period ended Dec. 5th (due date Dec 1st). For Utah State, that same professor’s link to submit his letter has been popping up as an “error page”. I’m starting to think that the traditional ‘it’s-fine-if-the-professor-turns-it-in-2-weeks-late’ idea is going out the window. Someone needs to spread the word to all of professors ASAP b/c it costs us, not them :/ If I hadn’t asked for 4 LORs, instead of 3, I would’ve been pissed right now.
  2. SAME. Only two schools of the 8 I applied to posted that they would be notifying applicants by the 15th (of Dec) of interview invites. The other schools seem to notify in late January. The early notifying schools are what’s driving me crazy bc I keep thinking “...any day now but if December 15th passes and I’ve got no invite then....”
  3. I meant on the main ‘results’ page when you first get on “TheGradCafe”. I’m already seeing people getting interviews and acceptances for their PhD(tear face)
  4. Just here to say that I’m dreading the possible moment I scroll down the ‘Results’ page and see a program I applied to. This isn’t the first time I’m applying to PhD programs so my heart would absolutely broken. If there’s a ‘mutual support’ topic, I’ll probably be under it crying.
  5. Applying to the Fall 2018 cycle: Program of interest: Clinical Psych, Combined Clinical/Counseling Psych, Social Psych and Human Development and Family Studies (to clarify, I’m interested in research despite being a licensed therapist) Schools you have looked at: At this point I’ve looked at any program that isn’t highly ranked. My GRE (foreshadowing) can’t compete but the rest of my app can, so the schools I’ve applied to look at candidates “holistically”. I’m looking at: Utah State, Seattle Pacific, Michigan State, USC(LOL, wish me luck), Oklahoma State, UC of Santa Cruz and Ole Miss(another LOL). Number one worry about applying: My GRE. Scores. I’m a horrid standardized test taker and when looking at my grades in Stats and research methods, they don’t add up. I sat for the GRE and blanked out, each time. I am PRAYING programs (or at least one) can look past the score and see how good of a student I am and all of my experience and research...but that’s a prayer and I’m in need of a miracle.
